Given the growth of the forum during the last year, I figure there must be at least a few people here have not yet heard about this -

" . . . Restoration Package for your Corvette from GM/Chevrolet! Call the Chevrolet Customer Assistance hotline at (800) 222-1020 or 810-696-4800. You will need to supply the VIN of the car. If your Vette was originally registered in Canada, you will have to call GM of Canada at (800) 263-3777. GM-Canda wants $40.00 plus tax for the restoration package, so try the US number first."

I got mine last year. The stuff I got <thumbing through package in front of keyboard> consists of good quality photocopies of service/maint. info, an order form for the Corvette Black Book, a dealer order guide, MVMA Specifications form, another rather extensive specifications reference published by GM and a 1/4" thick listing of official GM Restoration Parts suppliers. All told, about 100 double-sided pages.

The young lady I spoke with last year didn't quite know what I was talking about when I requested the Restoration Package, but after a few seconds of keyboard clicking sounds she found it and walked me down through a list of questions (name, address, VIN, etc). She told me 6-8 weeks to deliver, but I remember it only being a week or so.

Yes, it is free. Free phone call, free restoration package, they even covered the postage.
All you have to do is call, answer a few questions, then go out by your mailbox and wait.

Unlikely! ;)

He is correct. This is a good piece of free information. I have done it twice. Once for my 79 then again for my 70. The guy I spoke to said he just ordered one for his father in laws camaro. So apparantly, you can get it for more than just corvettes. I have only tried vettes.

 

Just got off the phone wioth them and ordered mine. They told me 10-14 business days!! I can't wait. :D

 

Thanks!

 

One last bounce to the top.

I'm glad to see some folks benefit from this post. :D

 

That sounds really cool. I'll have to give them a call!

 

Just ordered mine!

 

I just called...mentioned the Restoration Package and they knew just what it was.

 

Had to order mine twice, but Chevrolet was very good to deal with. :nopity

 

I am on the phone now - THANKS for the heads up - I am ordering both, one for my 75 and one for the 79 (to give to the next owner - who bought it today!)

 

Thats pretty nice JME...

I called about a year ago and they sent me all the info for a 1957 Chevy!!! I can see how they got confused with a '70 Vette :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
